Very good find. A sobering reminder of the imperfection of human kind.

I didn't care much for the article. Clay chose to throw some negative light on the winner. What's the point? It would have been more interesting to read more about the horse being owned in part by a minority stable or the fact he is named for a slave.

Good article, except Curlin is not a multiple Grade I winner.

Why did I think that the Arkansas derby was a grade 1 ??

Does Oaklawn Park even have a grade 1?? Is the Oaklawn Handicap a graded stakes?

Any hope of Curlin not going so it would free Robby up to ride Tizzy?

I could care less about the owners of Curlin. They arent very likeable at all.

While I dont care for the connections, cept for Robby and Satish are A OK in my book, I friggin love watching Curlin run and I cant fault the horse for running with some lousy fella's.
